TRIGGER WARNING: Suicidal Ideation, Traumatic Birth
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Brittany Welch, a perinatal mental health advocate whose lived experience fuels her to help others in her community. We’ll hear about shame, guilt, an inpatient stay, navigating a medically traumatic birth experience, and the power of peer support. Brittany is not only a Climb Out of the Darkness Leader, but she’s also one of the newest members of the PSI-CA State Chapter, connecting all CA Climb Leaders, spreading the word about PSI’s resources, and building community along the way.
